Enhanced Apoptosis of Monocytes from Complication-Free Juvenile-Onset Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 May Be Ameliorated by TNF-α Inhibitors

Figure 1

The representative dot plot of monocytes in the healthy and DM1 patients. Monocytes were identified by combination of the SSC parameter and the expression of CD14 molecule (a). Among the CD14⁺ monocytes two subsets were identified on the basis of CD16 receptor expression, the CD14⁺⁺CD16⁻ and CD14⁺CD16⁺ (b).
